according to the figures we're seeing, dimensions are 45 x 28 inches. The internal size is 5 x 10 inches and the external size is 47 x 30 inches. The number 5 x 10 is a ten. It is sized to fit anywhere from 2in to 5in, ideal for flight and shipping.
Despite having a large frame road bike, the frame fit perfectly. Wheels that measure 29"? In the box, the wheels lie overlapping one another at the bottom. It took me a while to figure out the dimensions of the bottom case, but they should (30" tires are similar in size to road tires, aren't they? Quality of the case is decent There were no issues with it (4 flights) when I took it to Europe. As the case was being slid/subsequently, other things were being slid over the case, the rivets holding the straps to it were hammered. Other than that, the case is in perfect condition. For extra protection, get a roll of bubble wrap and wrap everything up in it. It's been a while. In the event that something was going to crush the area between my rear fork dropouts, I wedged my helmet between them to add additional support. The only issue I have is a lack of time.
Gustavo, the weight of the Thule RoundTrip Sport 100500 is My pleasure, and have a marvelous day! Thank you for your inquiry.
My suitcase was allowed as checked luggage when I flew with United. A.A. is not something I have tried. In my case, I had to pay $150 for excess baggage on a Delta flight. Getting united is the right thing to do!
Selected User Reviews For Thule Round Trip Sport Bike Travel Case
There is a bit of a problem with the initial assembly (fixing wheels). It would be a good idea if Thule designers would participate in the Ikea design team and learn some basic easy assembly rules, but once this is done, this work It always arrived without a hitch when I went up to Hawaii twice from Chicago. American Airlines handled the box with no problems because it is sturdy, very light and very easy to handle. No scratch appears on the box, despite being loaded/unloaded from an airplane 8 times already. Not sure whether to praise American Airlines or Thule, but they both deserve praise for this. I always had a TSA letter waiting for me inside the box upon arrival despite the fact that the TSA always inspects it for content.
My 29" mountain bike fits perfectly.
Very well built. The shell will be a good protector for your bike. You can use it to put your bike on a roof rack and to keep your luggage or anything else you want protected from the elements when you're not riding. It's just a matter of making sure you close it properly by placing the bottom shell completely inside the upper shell. In my opinion, it should have had 4 additional casters on both long sides of the shells to allow easier mobility in airports. Two fixed direction casters at the back and two swivel casters at the front and a strap hammer on the back. It can thus be rolled all the way around flat, or can be rolled up on the long side for a more narrow profile for.
The edges of the canvas had to be aligned by hand until a good fit could be made. As far as I can tell, the TSA has given up. In doing so, she apparently broke one of the buckles. Although they did attempt to make things look better by adding a zip tie through one of the holes A ring. Possibly it is me as a user who has an issue with this, but I find the design.
Because it had a simple design, it was light and easy to carry. It is not in my opinion that the wheels are perpendicular to the width of the carrier, but rather parallel. Contact the carrier by phone. The carrier makes it difficult to move to and from the check-in with the bike encased in a doorway. It makes it difficult to make your way from a check-in to your hotel. The challenge of checking in and claiming baggage Checking in extra bags is especially important when you have several. We've reached the end of it If your bike is the right size and equipped with a rear rack If the bag is overweight, you might have to pay more. Be sure to cinch the covers together and maybe use an extra luggage band to keep the halves tied This is particularly true if you are planning on packing additional bike parts or Test it out to see if it fits well. After assembly, assemble it again and test it out.
(My deal was much better than I expected. A cycling trip through Europe prompted the purchase of this case. The flights were operated by four airlines. I was not able to find a problem with the case itself. road bike is 61cm in size and I can fit it perfectly. Every time I wrapped something delicate or touching another item in bubble wrap, I took extra care. A velcro strap was used to secure the rear derailleur to the chainstay, and bubble wrap was used to protect it. However, it probably would have been better to remove it entirely. shown currently. Do you have any idea why the price increased so much? )
While the wheels are sturdy, they are positioned in a way that you have to pull the case at a low angle if you don't want to fray the straps on the ground It is also important not to pull the straps in a way that makes them vulnerable. The rivets that attach the straps to the case body aren't the strongest items either, so be careful not to unduly strain them. It is only the rivets and the back strap of the case that are showing signs of wear and tear after my recent The case might be even more useful if it had handles on the side, since you're very unlikely to need to lift it if it is standing on end with a It did a good job, all in all. In my opinion, if I was riding my bike extensively, I would invest in a more complex system, however I consider the basic system to be sufficient for my one-time trip In every case Is a couple The trip that I took last year The results I received are quite satisfactory I didn't pay more than $400, but I didn't pay even that much.
Despite the Amazon driver throwing the box off the back of the truck, it held up. If there were only one feature I'd like to see it have, it would be latches, as you see plenty of instances when the two halves come undone despite A third change is that the case use to come with d-shaped rings, but now they have triangle shapes. In this regard, they are absolutely useless, since their alignment does not allow them to do anything. It would have been more appropriate to have rubberized foam instead of the less expensive The final thing is that this case used to come with an accessory bag and a chain protector (maybe in foreign markets), but there isn't.
Check out the YouTube video on how to pack this case, there is a right way and it is quite detailed
The case is closed with straps and plastic buckles, so small objects will fall out unless you clamp it very tight or if TSA opens it. It also tends to look more durable than it really is as the buckles "wear" over time.
For transporting my Focus Mares CX 4, I used this case. Cross-country flights for a race do not involve any cross-country traveling. My bike - which is an XL frame - fits me perfectly Only barely - The case itself has to fit within the case. Even though the case itself does an outstanding job protecting your bike, it is a bit unwieldy when rolling through an airport. The wheels for this model are designed so that you roll it on its wide side, rather than the thinner one as other bike cases are. In other words, you need about 3 feet of clearance to walk through doors or across walkways while using Furthermore, you'll have to give yourself some extra room when packing and unpacking the case because it uses two separate pieces of plastic (not a clam shell). You'll have to move the foam pads, the top, and the plastic wheel protector There are no other bike cases I have seen that use zippers that experience this problem.
